BuzzFeed Food Vertical Hires an Associate Editor

Rachel Sanders is the latest foodie to make the jump from Bon Appetit to BuzzFeed. Ms. Sanders, who was EIC Adam Rapoport’s assistant, will be an associate editor at the new BuzzFeed food vertical, set to launch later this month. Get ready to look at food that’s better than the food you are eating on your lunch break!

Ms. Sanders follows Emily Fleischaker, the BuzzFeed’s food editor and the former online editor at BonAppetit.com, in the path from Conde to Buzz. Ms. Fleischaker left to start the BuzzFeed’s food vertical in August.

“Rachel has the writing voice and personality we were looking for. She gets the social aspect of food, which is so important to what we’ll be doing. We’re excited to have her on board,” Ms. Fleischaker said in an email to the Observer.
